1t is the universal verdict that Oehm's
new "Acme Hall'' on Baltimore street
above Charles, a striking picture of which
is presented in this issue of THE wHIG, is
one of the grandest clothing establishments
in this country. 1t is a store of which Bal
timore may we'll be proud, not only because
it affords the citizens of Maryland the finest
facilities for purchasing the best clothing,
but because it il an ornament to the city.
Everything that enterprise and capital can
do to secure tirst-class establishment has
been drue, and the success of this Balti
more enterprise is already assured.
1t is seldom that 9th er than a local or

conditions of men and women. 1t took i'll
the high and the low, the pious and worldly.
The concert was pleasing one and
highly meritcd the success which attended
it at this place. The Instrumental music
was particularly fine "Petite" Bertha was
whole show i'll herself. All the features
We're loudly applauded and many encores
demanded.
